The four major international airports of India in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata constitute about 94 per cent of instances of drugs smuggling and seizures, according to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) data, The Times of India reports on January 4. Out of a total 63 incidents of narcotics detection and seizure at airports in the country in 2013, 59 were reported from these air facilities, one of the largest hubs in terms of passenger and cargo load. Only six per cent of cases were detected at the airports of Guwahati (Assam), Bangalore (Karnataka)and Madurai (Tamil Nadu).While Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport reported a total of 17 drugs seizure cases during the said period, the Chennai airport had 16 such instances while Kolkata and Mumbai airports registered 13 such instances each during 2013. Over 1,026 kilograms of narcotics, including Ketamine, Ganja, Heroin, Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine were seized from these air facilities during the year leading to the arrest of 75 people under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the data said."Drug couriers are largely intercepted and detected at international airports as they have the facility of being connected to foreign shores. Instances of both the consignment being sent out of India or being brought in have been detected under these seizures," a senior anti-narcotics official said.

Police have identified visuals of six men moving suspiciously in and around the site of December 28, 2014 Church Street in Bangalore (Karnataka), The Times of India reports on January 5. The footages of the six suspicious elements were isolated after sifting through hundreds of hours of footage recovered from CCTV cameras placed by various establishments in and around Church Street.Also, Police will further inspect these footages for more information. But the sources admitted that the quality of the footage is a setback. Until these men in footages are confirmed to be terror suspects, they are not of any use. "We are crosschecking these footages to see if they match photographs of suspected terror activists and eyewitness accounts of suspects. We are going through call record details," a senior Police Officer said.

On January 8m in a joint operation, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) and Karnataka's internal security division arrested three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in two separate incidents and seized a huge cache of bomb-making material and communication devices, reports The Times of India. The arrests were made in Cox Town of Bengaluru, and Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District. Announcing the arrests, Police Commissioner MN Reddi said so far no connection has been established between the trio and the December 28 explosion on Church Street. But, Police will investigate further. Reddi said around 5 kilogram of ammonium nitrate, gelatin, electrical circuits, detonators and a walkie-talkie have been seized. "Three men, Syed Ismail Afaq, 34, Saddam Hussein, 35 and Abdus Subur, 24 have been arrested. The first two were arrested from the house in Pulakeshinagar in east Bengaluru and the third person was arrested from Bhatkal town. Abdus Subur, 24 was MBA student in Bhatkal and we are yet to identify the background of the other two arrested men," Reddi added. During the investigation it was found that these men were acting on the instructions of a handler abroad. "We can't confirm the country from where the handler was operating. These men are being interrogated right now and we can't disclose the directions these men were given either, at the point of the investigation," he said. These men have been booked under sections 3.4 and 5 of explosive substances act and sections 10, 13 and 18 of Unlawful Assembly Prevention Act (UAPA) and 120 B and 121 A of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Two days after the arrest of three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, along with a cache of explosives, the Bengaluru Police on January 10 arrested another suspected IM operative, identified as Riyaz Ahmed Sayeedi (32), at the Mangalore International Airport (Mangaluru, Karnataka), just before he was to board a Dubai-bound Jet Airways flight, reports The Times of India. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner M N Reddi said, “The operation was based on the information provided by the three terror suspects, Syed Ismail Afaq, Saddam Hussain and Abdus Saboor, who were arrested on January 8.” The arrests come in the wake of the bomb blast on Church Street in Bengaluru on December 28, 2014. Police suspect that Sayeedi, a resident of Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District could also be involved in some of the blast cases in different parts of the country, adds The Indian Express. Although it was said that Police seized more explosives from another house in Bhatkal following his detention, senior Police officers didn't confirm this information. According to sources, more arrests are likely to be made from Mangaluru and Bhatkal in the coming days. Sources also added that Kerala too has been on the radar of the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB), Mumbai’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and National Investigation Agency (NIA).

According to the Police officials, four suspected operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM) arrested recently were part of a terror module that was used to procure, fabricate and deliver deadly explosives, reports The Times of India on January 13. A top Police official said that the IM operatives transferred money through Hawala channels for funding and at least one of them attended meetings in a foreign country, where a conspiracy was hatched to manufacture and deliver deadly explosives which were probably used for blasts in different parts of the country. Bengaluru Police commissioner M N Reddi said that "I would say that a picture is emerging based on the interrogation that we have done. This was a module that was used by the IM as well as the other terrorist organisations to procure, fabricate, supply and deliver deadly explosives." However, Reddi added that there was nothing so far to link the arrested persons with the December 28, 2014 Bengaluru blast that claimed the life of a woman. One of the arrested IM operative, Syed Ismail Afaque was the man who assembled and supplied two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts in February 21, 2013 (Hyderabad), reports The New Indian Express on January 13. Top sources confirmed that Afaque, during joint interrogation by the Karnataka Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), reportedly confessed that he had designed the IEDs and supplied them to other accused who planted them at Dilsukhnagar and executed the blasts. Sources said that “On instructions of his Pakistan-based handlers, particularly Riyaz Bhatkal, the most-wanted terrorist, Afaque purchased the material for the explosives from Manguluru, assembled them and supplied it to other accused who triggered the blasts.” Afaque will be brought to Hyderabad to be produced in the court in connection with the Dilsukhnagar blasts after which NIA is likely to seek his custody to elicit more information about the blasts.

Investigations have revealed that the four Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, arrested last week from Bhatkal in Karnataka, had supplied explosives for all the bomb blasts carried out by the outfit in the country since 2008, reports The Times of India on January 19. Report said that the group, being called the 'explosives module' of IM, led by 36-year-old homeopathy doctor Saleem Ismael Ashfaque, was not known to any agency till now as it took explosives delivery orders directly from Riyaz Bhatkal in Pakistan. Sources said Ashfaque, known very well to Riyaz Bhatkal, used to procure ammonium nitrate used in stone quarries and mines in the Karnataka region. He is also said to have travelled to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, said a source, adding that he must have met Riyaz Bhatkal there. An officer said Ashfaque, is a close friend of Pakistan-based Riyaz and used to take orders directly from him through phone or Nimbuzz chats, before delivering it to the operational modules run by Yasin Bhatkal. More than 70 IM members have been arrested since 2008 but nobody ever revealed the identity of the explosives supplier. The group is believed to have supplied ammonium nitrate and other related articles to operational units for the various attacks in the country since the 2008 Delhi blast.

Suspected operative of Indian Mujahideen (IM), Syed Ismail Afaq, the homeopath arrested by the Bengaluru Police (Karnataka) on January 8, was trained by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan, a Police source said on January 19, reports The New Indian Express. Police also said that indoctrinated by Riyaz and Yasin, known as the Bhatkal brothers, Afaq held a high position in the IM’s hierarchy. “He was creating Indian Mujahideen modules. His terror connection had become a family problem, and his brother had written to him cautioning him against such activities,” the source said.

Ahead of United States (US) President Barack Obama's visit to India, security agencies are concerned that a 'Waqas-2' may be on the prowl or waiting in the wings to enter India from Pakistan, reports The Times of India on January 21. Waqas alias Zia-ur-Rehman, is a Pakistani bomb-maker who executed several blasts in India on behalf of Indian Mujahideen (IM) until his arrest in Bangladesh in March 2014. The information was worked out on the basis of interrogation and recoveries made from IM's explosives suppliers arrested recently in Bengaluru. Report said the agencies have learnt that the accused were instructed to keep explosives and circuits ready and wait for instructions to hand them over to a bomb-maker who would contact them in the coming days. This person was being sent by IM co-founder Riyaz Bhatkal in Pakistan. It is, however, not clear if this person had already entered India by the time the accused were arrested or is yet to enter. It is suspected that this person may be a fresh face from Pakistan or one of the various IM operatives from India, such as Dr Shahnawaz, Mirza Shadab Baig, Bada Sajid and others, hiding in Pakistan. Bangalore Police recently arrested four IM operatives from Bhatkal, Karnataka who are suspected to have supplied explosives to bombers such as Waqas, Tehseen Akhtar and Yasin Bhatkal. The Police also recovered arms and ammunition from the accused. One of the arrested suspects, Afaque's interrogation revealed that he was instructed to stock material and keep it ready to be delivered. A central security establishment officer said that "Afaque is not a bomb-maker. He merely sources explosives. He was supposed to deliver it to someone Riyaz was sending but was arrested before the transaction could take place. Afaque does not know who this person is. It could be a trained bomb-maker and planter like Waqas that Riyaz had sent in earlier."
